I recently figured out a problem with my truck that is an extreme danger. When you fill up the fuel tank at any gas station, it seems that the fuel enters the vapor canister and makes the engine stall for about a mile before it starts running properly. After several close encounters after filling the tank, I looked upon other threads of Dodge Ram owners and found this to be a common problem that was never addressed by Chrysler and never acted upon by NHTSA. Please look into this and advise a course of action to have Chrysler repair this problem.. It is a matter of time before either I or another with the same problem are seriously injured or killed due to this defect. Many Thanks In Advance!!

My family has owned 3 5.7 HEMI vehicles all ranging from the years of 2002-2006 and they have all had the engine randomly seize up on us while driving almost causing major accidents, two of these vehicles are still owned one in an auto shop. I do not believe that this is a coincidence, I believe this is a manufacturer fault that needs to answer to and possibly pay back everyone effected by this event. The auto shop I have the truck at is Lott's auto in Junction City, KS and they themselves know of this fault as well. This needs to be answered to, it is a safety issue and a waste of money to people who trust Dodge with these vehicles, the auto shop informed me this is with the 5.7 HEMI from all years between 2000-2011. Please investigate this and hold Dodge accountable.

ON 9/9/2016 MY WIFE ENTERED OUR GARAGE TO GET SOMETHING AND FOUND THE GARAGE FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES DUE TO MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 ENGINE RUNNING. OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS PARKED WITHOUT ANYONE IN IT. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAD THE KEYS IN THEIR HANDS AND THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT RANDOMLY STARTED ON IT'S OWN. I FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE ABOUT IT RANDOMLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS, AND IT RANDOMLY HAVING ALL LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONE, A RANDOM START WHEN PARKED IN A GARAGE COULD TURN FATAL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE.

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI 5.7 IT HAD A BAD ENGINE. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS FIXED, I NOTICE THE TRUCK WOULD JUST STOP RUNNING OR STALL AND NO ENGINE LIGHT. I WOULD START IT BACK UP AND IT WOULD KILL AT ANYTIME I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR SLOW DOWN TO STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN 2 TO 10 TIMES A DAY. THEN NOT FOR A DAY OR TWO. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE AND I HAD TO STOP MY SON FROM USING THIS TRUCK.

AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT INTERSECTION OF DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF YOU RIDE THE BRAKE AND GAS, YOU CAN KEEP FROM STALLING. THIS INCIDENT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER A SMELL OF GAS VAPOR SMELL AFTER FILLING TANK. RESEARCHED STALLING AND GAS SMELL, WAS LED TO OTHER SCALP NOTICE FOR HEMI GAS TANK DUE TO ETHANOL GAS CAUSING THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK TO EXPAND AND NOT CLOSE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK YOU GET LIQUID GAS IN THE PURGE VAPOR CANISTER AND LINE. THIS GIVING YOU THE GAS SMELL UPON FILLING. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THAT OTHER HEMI MODELS GAS TANKS WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
